Can I get into geology with a major in physics

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a career in geology without a dedicated program can still be feasible. A major in physics, combined with a minor in geography, may provide a solid foundation for entering the geology field or advancing to graduate studies in geophysics. Additionally, students interested in meteorology and geology can explore postgraduate options after completing a Bachelor of Science in Physics, as there are job opportunities available in both fields. Engaging in relevant elective courses and seeking interdisciplinary studies can enhance qualifications for a successful career in geology or related areas.

I want to get a career in geology but the school I am going to doesn't offer that. I am going because it is close to home and I am playing sports there. Can I get into geology with a major in physics or should I think of another career choice?

To the OP:

Does the school you are going to offer a program in geography, with elective courses in physical geography? If so, then I would think that a major in physics with a minor in geography should be able to give you enough background to pursue a career in geology, or quality you for further graduate studies in geophysics.

Thank you that was very very helpful
 
Even I face the same issue. Right now I am doing B.Sc phy .. but I am highly interested in meteorology and geology. So I wanted to do pg in either of them.. can I get a degree? And what are the job opportunities?
